Tennis tips today – Matches today from 29.04.
The second day of the round of 16 matches is coming up in Madrid. Rafael Nadal, who scored a respectable win against Alex De Minaur, is in the thick of it. The Spaniard was defeated by the player of the world last week in Barcelona.
This time, he kept the upper hand after two rounds and achieved his first impressive victory at the French Open. He now faces Pedro Cachin at the start of the second week of the tournament. The chances of reaching the round of 16 are good
In the best sports betting apps, the comebacker, who is only playing his third tournament since the Australian Open 2023, is in fourth place in the list of favorites for the triumph in Madrid at 10.0 odds. Only Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev are given better odds.
As is well known, Novak Djokovic is not playing in the Spanish capital and Stefanos Tsitsipas was knocked out surprisingly early on Saturday against Thiago Monteiro. Will there also be one or two surprises on Monday? In today’s tennis tips, I take a look at the top matches with the hottest odds
Tennis tips today – 29.04.2024
In addition to Nadal, many other stars will be on court on Monday. Among others, Daniil Medvedev serves against Sebastian Korda. The Russian is not the biggest fan of the red clay, but has impressed at various tournaments, especially last season.
The match between Cameron Norrie and Casper Ruud, two stars who have the best winning record on the surface, could also be a treat. Sinner is also back in action, facing Pavel Kotov, a clear-cut affair on paper.
The Australian Open champion, who is now the most popular athlete in Italy, easily beat his compatriot Lorenzo Sonego (6-0, 6-3) to open the tournament. Sinner has been virtually unstoppable so far in 2024, with 26 wins from 28 matches.
The record also shows that the 22-year-old has already played a number of matches, which is why he took a break between the Masters tournaments in Monte Carlo and Madrid. I present the best tennis bets today from Merkur Bets and Co. in the individual analyses:

Tennis tips today 29.04.: Medvedev vs. Korda (12:20 pm)
Clay is not Medvedev’s favorite surface, but it’s important not to underestimate the Russian, who is strong on serve and above all defensively. Last year, he won ten of his 13 matches on the red clay. After a weak first round, he turned on the heat in his first match against Matteo Arnaldi.
Korda is one of the up-and-coming Americans, but he is not currently in his best form. He has won a maximum of one match in six of his last seven tournaments. He also had a rewarding task in Max Purcell in the second round. I’m expecting a few breaks first and foremost, neither of them has had to play a tiebreak on clay in 2024.
Our expert tip: No tiebreak
Tennis betting today 29.04.: Nadal – Cachin (16:00)
This victory has given wings. Again and again, Nadal made a grand gesture of jubilation, his self-confidence growing from rally to rally against De Minaur, the opponent who had still brought him the defeat in Barcelona. The 37-year-old record winner of the tournament is now aiming for the round of 16.
With Cachin, he will face the 91st team in the world, who traveled to Madrid with a whopping 15 losses in a row. He was able to end his drought against Sebastian Ofner and Frances Tiafoe. However, he is likely to have a tough time against the resurgent Nadal. In the Merkur Bets app, I discovered top odds for a 2:0 win for the clay court king.
Our expert tip: 2:0 Nadal
Tennis betting today 29.04.: Norrie – Ruud (15:35)
In Barcelona, Ruud was able to break his final curse. He won his first title outside the 250 category and at the same time took revenge on Tsitsipas for his defeat in the final in Monaco a week earlier. He left Catalonia without losing a set and started the Madrid Open against Miomir Kecmanovic without losing a set.
Norrie also started the tournament well, but is currently not in the form of Ruud, who is hard to beat on clay, winning twelve of 14 matches in 2024 alone.
Our expert tip: Set 1 & Match Ruud
Tennis betting today 29.04.: Sinner – Kotov (20:00)
The consistency personified in 2024 is Sinner. He now has 26 wins from 28 matches. Only Alcaraz in Indian Wells and Tsitsipas in Monaco have beaten him. A two-week break was followed by a clear victory against Sonego.
Sinner should also have no problems against Pavel Kotov. The Russian played his way into the semi-finals in Marrakesh and got off to a flying start in Madrid with victories against Jordan Thompson and Albert Ramos-Vinolas. However, Sinner is now likely to be over in a hurry.
Our expert tip: Under 18.5 games
